This is the first unit with LCD resolution higher than 800x480 (it's shown as 1024 x 600). This alone is a clue that it's pure android as CE kernel does not support higher resolutions than 800x480, from what I know. Second, from images it's a dual core CPU, which again is not supported by CE kernel.

I don't speak Chinese but it looks like a new generation model (the first with a Snapdragon CPU , the first dual core, the first higher res than 800x480 at least for a Chinese unit).

Has anyone tried and gotten a bluetooth keyboard to work? I've tried but it will never pair, however it will with my phone and tablet.

I opted to buy mine from a US seller. I paid a little more but received it very fast, and feel it a safer transaction.

My OUKU 2.3.7 rooted (thanks to Hal9k) is working perfect. I have no complains.

But of course now having seen this new unit, I want one. It's so fast !! The screen seems to be Capacitive and the higher graphics look amazing !!

I wonder how much are they gonna sell it for ?
[Android Head-Units] Cool82:
My unit has capacitive screen and is rooted by Hald9k and works all right.

The only thing that does not work after root it is Gmail notifications.

I for now I just like to have android 4.1 as the new unit.

I would also like to access the synchronization options and other options.

I hope Hald9k makes possible an update of our units.

But the radio and equalizer app seems to be an android app (which isn't how it is with the combo CE/Android devices).

Download synker from the play store you can then use that to access your sync menu and enable gmail sync (it shows up on the list, just the check box isn't checked). Works fine on my device, I normally get the notification within in about 5 seconds of when I would get in on my Nexus 4.

The built in BT device only has support for phone and media streaming. In order to use a BT keyboard you would have to plug in a supported USB BT dongle and connect to that.

Hi guys:

This is my Music app on my OUKU.

http://youtu.be/dtB0-xMwEtI

What Music apps are you guys using ?

Also which app would you say you use the most on your radio?

I will have to say the one I use the Most is WAZE for all my driving needs.

One interesting thing I found out. If you attach a rear monitor like I did, any thing you display on your AUX input automatically gets displayed on the rear monitor. And you can actually go back to your NAV while the rear monitor still displays your video. Dual zone finally !!

So I attached an iPod video cable to that, and now I can play all my kids movies and they can watch while I drive. (Believe me it comes in handy)

The only other way to display video on the rear monitor is thru the DVD app, and I wasn't about to start carrying around DVDs. I mean, does anybody even still uses DVDs ?

Lol..

Yes its a firmware for capacitive screens. Here it is:

https://mega.co.nz/#!XJB0DLzJ!FQOfhBxxzCrz19oMLpEb5zJjI4I3eTgstyMX_SSwKiQ

It seems faster to boot than stock. My unit may be different than everyone elses since Hal's firmware didnt work for me. I dont want to try it again.

Can anyone tell me how to change to a different music app? The stock one sucks but when I use poweramp or something the steering buttons don't work.
[Android Head-Units] Cool82:
Might you take a picture like this to see the differences between your unit and mine?

[Android Head-Units] Cool82:
Ok, Thanks.

Synker works perfectly. The only problem is when I select the first option in Synker, I get a message that says: Your device does not have installed the synchronization options and accounts.
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
Just pick the 2nd item in the menu, if you are quick you can hit the check box for gmail before you get the warning about buying the pay version, or you can buy the pay version. After that synker can even be deleted.
[Android Head-Units] Cool82:
Ok, you mention this because he had done and why I say it works perfectly.

I just thought that with this application I could access the account and sync options like any android phone.

Anyway thanks for the help.

Another thing that I did not know is that I can uninstall Synker. And then will follow gmail sync worked properly.: Bueno:

I didnt have to do anything on mine (or install anything extra). The antenna reception (out of the box) isnt the best but then again I almost never listen to radio (so in my case it wasnt important or should I say necessary to go any further).

That did the trick; thanks so much!
[Android Head-Units] festor:
I don’t have any apps running from the card atm, but I did previously try a few different class 6/10 cards with Sygic on them. It still took about 35 sec. Same result with Sygic moved onto internal memory with no card inserted at all. I’m sure it’s just a background service that kicks in because Sygic only take a few sec to start, but I would prefer to have the 10 – 15 sec extra when I need the app and not on every boot.

That’s why I wanted to know if framaroot worked so I could use autostarts, but I guess nobody knows… or can’t be bothered replying ;)

CoPilot was a disaster btw. I basically had to shame them on their forum into dealing with a support ticket and they couldn’t sort the problem so eventually got a refund. Others seemed to have similar experiences on the forum, but the posts are quickly removed. I’m not sure how Jake Bullit got it to work (old/cracked version?) but I guess I will never know ;)

Having to download something to do the same thing Android is supposed to do, is just plain retarded to me. I hope Peter's Android 4.1 unit, which seems to be pure Android has true Google Apps experience, or at least a way to install them from a zip like in CWM.
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
I don't get what your saying, there are plenty of devices that don't have the accounts option (it is always in the framework, but its up to the oem to make that option available as nothing do do with the Google apps experience). Same thing with installing a custom recovery, again nothing to do with android or Google experience. Also since the device can be rooted you can just unpack any zip, adjust the update script and install it via terminal emulator or do it manually.

Large iPod playlist issue (and fix/workaround!)

Hi all,

I hope I'm not answering something that's already been answered, but I remember someone much earlier in this thread querying large iPod playlists (above 1000 tracks) and how if he pressed a track it would play something else. Someone else was looking at the code and trying to figure it out as it was felt that it couldn't handle large playlists...

I too have had this 'issue' but I think it's not a failure of the app but more a 'quirk' of it.

It happens no matter whether you have 10 tracks in an album or playlist or, in the case of some of my playlists, over 3000 tracks.

Basically, if you have 'shuffle' selected, no matter what track you press on the left, it will play something else. I guess it's just interpreting your press on a track as playing something in that playlist randomly before shuffling on to the next track.

There's a simple fix for this - Turn shuffle off before pressing on the track you want, then turn shuffle back on (unless you don't want to shuffle tracks, of course!).

Simples. :)

Cheers,

Nick

First of all, convenience. It's way easier (and safer) to tap on a 7"+ screen within the reach of your hand while you're stopped, than getting distracted by grabbing your phone out of one your pockets, unlock it, and check your mails.

In some countries, it's illegal to use a mobile phone while sitting in a driver's seat, even when your car is stopped or parked.
[Android Head-Units] Pop45398:
My phone is cradled in a mount, right in my line of sight and stays on when plugged into charger. I don't have to get it out of a pocket, unlock it or look down like I do my head unit. It's only illegal to talk on a cell without hands free in a active school zone in my state.
[Android Head-Units] paradigmGT:
I am looking at this radio and had some basic questions.

How is the sound quality using the built-in amps to 4 speakers (6x8" Kickers in my case)?

Is it possible to power a 4 channel amp + monoblock amp with this unit (i.e. does it have 3-preamp outs or just a subwoofer out)?

What is the voltage of the pre-outs?

Can I use a Google Maps app like I am able to on Android 4.3 on my Nexus 4?

What version of Android does this unit use?

Is there something else I should be considering?

How does it compare to the Pioneer App Radio 3?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
I don't know about the in built amp, have never used it, but you have 5 preamp outputs (4 for Front/Rear Left/Right) and then one for the subwoofer. So you should be able to to send signals to a 4 channel amp and a mono block amp (that will only be sent a mono signal, but subs aren't really directional so that shouldn't matter).

I believe somewhere around the 2.5V max mark (probably speced at 3V), I had my system setup with a Pioneer App Radio 2 that specs for 2V and I had to turn my gains down a little.

Depending on the seller somewhere between 2.3.5 and 2.3.7, the rooted firmware available here is 2.3.7.

I came from the App Radio 2 and the sound quality is better, you don't have the 'dual OS' UI where you have to exit from android to use radio, Ipod, etc. Boot up time is similar (between boot up with the new unit vs. the time ARL took to connect and display home screen), I used ARLiberator, I would sometimes have issues with it connecting/screen garbling, I used a dedicated GNex. I am very happy with the change, the only downside is the GNex had the newer version of Android, but there isn't really anything that this new unit cant do without a few workarounds. For the price difference (by the time you factor in a dedicated device for the App Radio and all the cables), sound quality difference, single OS GUI and better stability I would say picking the Ouku was a no brainer. The only advantage the App Radio had was that the steering wheel controls would work with any android app (but they weren't customizable).

Camry 07-11 with Metra ASCW-1

Hi, Do i need to connect Metra ASCW-1 to the headunit to keep my steering wheel controls or can i use the key1 and/or key2 and connect them to the ASCW-1 3.5 plug?

If key1 and/or key2 where do i connect them to the vehicules harness?

I have no idea what wire to connect to what wire when it comes to the swc, All i want is to use the swc with the ouku

Thanks in advance
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
What car is it, some times an adapter isn't even needed if the vehicle has analog steering wheel controls (rather than sending them over the canbus).
[Android Head-Units] nook'r:
Its an 09 camry. I am not sure if i need a Metra adapter or if i can connect the vehicle's wires directly to keys1 or keys2 as some on here did.
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
I'd imagine a car that new would use the canbus to operate the SW controls. You may want to contact the seller you bought your unit from, I believe there are several camry specific devices that include the correct adapter for canbus to SW controls.
[Android Head-Units] nook'r:
[MENTION=2322651]jakejm79[/MENTION], yep that will be my next step, tanks for the help anyway. i thought i would ask here 1st, I am waiting for "that" person who did the installation already, someone who used a Metra ASCW-1.

unless someone know what wire or wires on the 20pin adapter from the car radio to connect to on the HeadUnit or on the ASCW-1....
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
I found this earlier in this thread:

Seems like you need to read the manual for the ASWC-1 set it up for Metra OE radio mode, then connect the Gray Key1 wire from the Ouku to the brown wire of the ASWC.
[Android Head-Units] nook'r:
I appreciate the help, but there is no brown wire in the 20 pin harness in the camry, according to the Metra ASCW-1 manual i need to connect :

those wires 8,7 and 6 are yellow, orange and pink
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
Not the brown wire on the camry, brown wire on the ASCW-1, if you were referring to the the ASCW-1 wiring harness then maybe the orange one?
[Android Head-Units] nook'r:
The brown wire from the Metra unit is on separate 3.5 female plug (actually 2 wires: 1 solid brown and the other is brown/white).

connecting the brown wire from ASCW-1 to the Orange on the 20 pin connector result in blowing fuse #16 in the fuse box (radio fuse 15A). I had to replace it with the extra fuse from the car.

back to the drawing board,,,
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
So in that case wire the ASCW-1 to the Camry using Metra's instructions http://contentdocs.installernet.com/documents/vehicle/10957.pdf

Connect the brown wire on the 3.5mm female plug to the gray (Key1) wire of the Ouku

Connect the 3.5mm female to 3.5mm male

Program the ASCW-1 to Metra OE, then go into the steering wheel controls option on the Ouku and clear everything and then program the buttons (hit start, select the function you want it will highlight yellow, hit the steering wheel button you want to use, hit end, repeat for each function you want to program).
[Android Head-Units] nook'r:
I am using that same exact pdf.

I need to check the voltage on the brown from Metra to key1 on HU.

its kinda late and dark to check the color of those wires but i'll give it another chance tomorrow.

wish me luck and thanks for the help.

maybe get a firmware update from the manufacturer, specifically the files that update the "System" version, not necessarily the Android version. or try one of the root updates like this one from user Hal9k. I unzipped that root update and flashed it to my head unit (see page 141), and it works fine. I do not have any Apple device, so I have no personal experience with ipad/pod/phone...

Hi, which model is compatible bluetooth usb. You could get some example cheap to buy?

thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Pop45398:

Ok, perfect. I'll buy that model. After plug in the bluetooth usb and starting the torque application.I have to do something else?
[Android Head-Units] Protius5150:
If I want to connect OBD2 bluetooth device to the radio to run Torque and still have bluetooth connectivity with my phone can I simply buy the Bluetooth adapter you linked to for the USB port on the radio or do I also need a hub and another bluetooth adapter in order to connect both devices at the same time?

Will an ipod stream via bluetooth to my new radio as well and would that then be the point where I would need the usb hub and 2 bluetooth adapters to connect all 3 devices?
[Android Head-Units] Pop45398:
In order for USB bluetooth to work you have to install Hal9k's rooted firmware. You will also need to download and install Quick Bluetooth Lite (free) so you can turn bluetooth on/off and pair with bluetooth devices. In order to run Torque, you first have to pair your OBDII adapter in Quick Bluetooth Lite then setup your connection in Torque.

The radio's built-in bluetooth will only work for phone connectivity and for audio streaming. By adding a USB bluetooth adapter like I posted, you can also connect to other bluetooth devices like OBDII and keyboard. The built-in adapter will only allow connecting to one device at a time and you want to connect to two, phone and iPod. Conceivably you could connect your phone to the built-in adapter and iPod to a USB adapter. I don't know if a USB adapter will allow connecting to OBDII adapter and iPod at the same time. I can connect OBDII via Quick Bluetooth Lite and a BT keyboard via Blueinput, both through the USB BT adapter at the same time.

I have the USB hub so I can have BT and WiFi dongles connected at the same time.
[Android Head-Units] danselo1:
Thank you very much Pop45398, I've gotten it to work torque. Then leave separate steps: (sorry for my translation)

1 - buy usb bluetooth, for example: Super Mini Bluetooth 2.0 Dongle (Vista Compatible) 11866 DEALEXTREAM

2 - Connect the usb bluetooth

3 - Install the playstore: Quick Bluetooth Lite (free)

4 - With the program bluetooth enabled. Connect with bluetooth obd

5 - Enter torque and it will connect automatically

Hello guys,

[Android Head-Units] mister7000:
Ok, to make things easy you need the adapter for you car that attaches to the car wire harness and also to the aswc-1.

Once you do that then connect the key-1 wire from ouku to aswc -1 brown wire.

Then key-2 wire from ouku to brown wire with strip on aswc-1.

Now the mos important part.

Follow the instruccions on the aswc-1 to program it as a metra oem.

It goes by the flashes of the red light.

Then voila !!

It works.
[Android Head-Units] G2k0:
Thanks Nick! I'll give it a try. The problem however is a bug in the ipod software. It seems that there is a limit of how many songs it randomly selects. Once that limit is reached it simply ignores the remaining songs on you ipod thus only playing what the app stored. Thats why all that happens. I tried to mess around with the code a bit but since I'm not a developer I didnt get that far. Perhaps if someone here wants to take a stab at it, that would be fantastic! Another small rant I've had with the ipod interface is the lack of album art being displayed. That would be a nice feature.

Backup Original Firmware

Ready to install my Ouku and update the firmware but was wondering:

Is it possible to backup the original firmware that is already on the radio just in case I have any trouble and need to start over again? If so can anybody tell me the necessary steps or what I need to have to do it???

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
Most likely would be poor randomisation techniques.... Random values are chosen between 0 and 1 (this is a standard thing across computers in general) and then multiplied up by the number of tracks to give a number between 0 and the total tracks.

Unfortunately this fails if the variable storing the initial random number is unable to store enough decimal places (or if the OS doesn't provide enough)... As an extreme example, imagine if the initial random value was truncated to 1 decimal place. It would only ever select from 1 of 10 tracks evenly spread across the playlist. In reality the value would be far higher, and likely not simply decimal places (it will be a binary thing), but you can see the idea here.

The other possibility is a "previously played" listing that fills up and makes the app freak out. Less likely based on how I've read the description, but possible.

Video also

same with video files - create a folder called "video" and they will show in video player.
[Android Head-Units] mister7000:
Could you elaborate on this ?

In other words does this applies to the OUKU ?

I ask cause I didnt know there was a Video player app that came with it. (Like the radio app or the music app or ipod app.)

So I downloaded video player apps from the play store.

Is there a video app that came with the radio ?
[Android Head-Units] G2k0:
I took a look at the code a while back. The app has hard coded values (max limits) for # of songs it reads off the device. I gave it a shot and tried to tweak these numbers. So it definitely a coding issue. If anyone is interested -and wants to take a crack at it - I can post the code somewhere.
[Android Head-Units] petesimon:
Yes there is a video player app that comes with the radio, but not always. This depends on the seller and configuration of your radio unit. I recommend to use MX Player from google play store (android market). Search for MX Player, download, install, and run the app, and then download/install appropriate codec app for your device.
